Yes it only takes them 3 years or more to get the crooks.
And even then it almost always ends in nothing more than a promise to stop
and refund of the few dollars the spammer has in his bank account.
Yes, let's spend thousands of dollars to get a 16 million dollar settlement
against a relatively off-the-radar spambag like Howard Carmack who can
barely afford a Happy Meal.
And the worst, most well-known crooks like Ralsky and Empire Towers and
Marin and others are still ignored by authorities.

I have to hope they are working those as well. :/

Personally I'd love to pull the trigger on Ralsky and ilk.
If it wasn't for that pesky legal issue.

Actually, if you'd care to write a good Windoze virus, I could
turn you in, and we could split the reward Bill Gates is offering
for virus writers...
